Capra hircus Linnaeus, 1758

Tamget (Capra aegagrus hircus) är ett däggdjur som ingår i släktet Capra, och familjen slidhornsdjur. Den beskrevs av Linné 1758 som arten Capra hircus. Idag brukar den definieras som en underart till vildget, men flera auktoriteter definierar den fortfarande som art. Handjuret kallas bock (eller något ålderdomligt getabock), hondjuret get och avkomman killing. Epitet hircus i underartens vetenskapliga namn är ett av de latinska orden för get.
